will be responsible for submitting the DNA
paperwork and fee to the University of Kentucky

REGISTRATION DELAYS DUE TO IMPROPER SUBMISSION OF DNA
PAPERWORK AND SAMPLES
New Procedures In Effect Immediately …
The low DNA fees of $29 that LANA members enjoy is due to the fact that the DNA paperwork is submitted
directly to the University of Kentucky (the “Lab”). The improper submission of DNA paperwork and sample
quality is now causing a substantial amount of delay in processing the results by the Lab which in turn affects
the return of the pedigree paperwork to our members. Effectively immediately, these DNA procedures are in
effect – the DNA paperwork must be completed in its entirety, including:
1. Naming: You must use the official registered name of the horse (no nicknames, no partial names, no
guesses). If you are registering a FOAL or a horse that has not been registered anywhere in the USA.
2. LANA ID#: This is the registration number on your pedigrees. Put in the LANA registration number
or the word “Pending” if you are submitting paperwork for a FOAL or unregistered horse.
3. Other ID#: Other Registry ID number.
4. Sire’s & Dam’s DNA #: This number appears on all but the oldest of LANA pedigrees in addition to
the LANA registration number. If you do not have or cannot find these numbers, contact Sandy by
email at sandy@lipizzan.org. These numbers must appear on all paperwork submitted to the Lab.
5. Number of Hair Samples: No less than 18!
The Lab itself has implemented several changes. The Lab will no longer process samples that do not meet the
criteria for sample qualities. The samples must include the hair follicle. If the Lab receives body fuzz,
insufficient sample or other samples not appropriate for testing, the Lab will no longer process them and a
resample request will be immediately sent back to the Owner who will need to send a new DNA sample together
with additional re-sampling processing fee ($29. Questions: Email Sandy Heaberlin at sandy@lipizzan.org.
COMMON REGISTRATION DELAYS & REMEDIES
Registering Imported Horses: Pedigrees on imported horse may not possess a 5 generations pedigree,
including dates and places of birth of all ancestors. In this instance, the Registrar must contact the Lipizzan
International Federation or the studfarm to obtain the missing information. It can take up to 6 months or more
before the information is received. Should this be the case, the Registrar will notify you of the delay.
Transfers When the Horse Has Not Been DNA’d: In the event a horse is transferred, but no DNA is on file,
the new owner will be responsible for submitting the DNA paperwork and fee to the University of Kentucky
before a new registration certificate is issued. DNA numbers appear on registration pedigrees. If DNA numbers
are needed for a sire and dam to complete the DNA forms, contact sandy@lipizzan.org to obtain the DNA
numbers for parent verification. If you are transferring a horse from another registry, the DNA information has
to be verified first which may cause a short delay.
No DNA: See the Article on Registration Delays on page ___.
No Fees: All fees must be paid before registration paperwork is processed.
REMEDY for Deficient Registration/Transfer Paperwork: If any registration or transfer paperwork
is deficient, the Registrar will send one (1) email to advise what is missing. If the deficiencies are not
cured within 30 days, all paperwork and money will be returned.
